I am a gigantic fan of string trackers and that is no secret. I have had them save the day on many animals over the last 25 years. There is really only one draw back to using one and it is that they are ugly as sin on a good looking bow. I have sat for years trying to think of a way to hide that ugly black shiny spool cover. Recently I spent some time over at friends house and we discussed trying to make a leather cover. Well, my leather making skills are not what you would call first rate. So I put the project off again.
Recently I saw a post on here where Chad Orde had made a really nice looking leather cover for his tracker that strapped on a long bow. Some of you may have seen it. A good design but I shoot a unit from my stabilizer insert.
Well I got with Chad on the phone and gave him my thoughts on a design that had been in my head for a long time and he also had great ideas along with mad leather working skills. He sent me this prototype and folks, he NAILED IT.
This design uses the spool cover and the front half can be removed to replace the spool. I think this will do a great job of protecting the spool from being crushed as well as maintaining the shape of the cover.
I LOVE the design and workmanship. I ordered two right away.
Finally my string tracker looks like it belongs.
Trust me folks, there is a ton of craftsmanship in this cover. Worth every penny.
Here is his contact info if you have an interest.
